Catapult Learning Announces 2025 Teacher and Staff of the Year Winners
Annual awards celebrate outstanding educators and staff for passion and dedication to driving successful student outcomes and supporting school communities
PHILADELPHIA, May 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Catapult Learning, a division of FullBloom that provides intervention programs for students and professional development solutions for teachers in K-12 schools, today announced Evelea Solgos as its 2025 Teacher of the Year and Trista Corbie as its first Staff of the Year. Solgos and Corbie were chosen from more than 7,800 Catapult Learning educators around the globe, each who support the individualized learning needs of students.
Now in its second year, the Catapult Learning Teacher of the Year and inaugural Catapult Learning Staff of the Year programs honor full-time team members, including teachers, counselors and support staff, who exemplify high-quality, evidence-based practices, and who work to create exceptional learning experiences for all Catapult Learning students.
'We are beyond excited to celebrate Evelea Solgos and Trista Corbie, along with the territory and regional winners of this year's Catapult Learning Teacher and Staff of the Year awards,' said Rob Klapper, president of school solutions at FullBloom. 'While these awards roll around once a year, the impact of educators like Evelea and counselors like Trista is felt every single day. We're incredibly grateful to have both of them as part of the Catapult Learning family, and we thank every one of our nominees for always focusing on what matters most – creating brighter futures for all our students and schools.'
Utilizing a suite of proprietary, research-based programs, Catapult Learning works with students and teachers in public and nonpublic schools. Its educators enable sustained academic gains while building teacher and leadership capacity through evidence-based programs that include student instruction for all learners, family support services, and professional development programs. Solgos and Corbie were selected, along with territory and regional winners, from a pool of over 100 nominations by a Catapult Learning leadership committee.
'I am deeply honored to receive this award and also very humbled,' said Solgos, a K-8 IDEA educator at St. John Berchmans in Chicago. 'I'm grateful to work at a company that equips and empowers its teachers to do their best work and help their students succeed. My favorite part of teaching is giving students a safe space to gain confidence, see what they're capable of, and learn to trust themselves. So many students, especially those with learning disabilities, feel like they don't belong in school, and what motivates me is creating a space where all students feel welcomed and valued.'
Corbie is a State of Florida PK-12 certified school counselor who has been with Catapult Learning for nearly two years. She currently serves Hebrew Academy, American Youth Academy, and New Life Tabernacle in Tampa, Fla.
'I am filled with gratitude being named the first Catapult Learning Staff of the Year winner,' said Corbie. 'Education is not an easy field to navigate, and mental health services are too often overlooked or undervalued in school systems. This recognition is not just about me – it represents the tireless efforts of school counselors everywhere who have poured countless hours into supporting students, families, and school communities. I stand with the counselors who came before me and paved the way, and those beside me who continue to fight for mental wellness in schools. Thank you for seeing us.'

Comstock Metals Receives Expanded County Storage Permit for Recycling Ramp Up
Accelerates the Development of the first Industry-Scale Solar Panel Recycling Facility VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) ('Comstock' and the 'Company') announced today that its subsidiary, Comstock Metals, received unanimous approval for a conditional use permit ('CUP') from the Lyon County, Nevada, Board of County Commissioners, for expanded material storage of solar panels on leased property in the immediate vicinity of the company's first planned industrial-scale facility in Silver Springs, Nevada. This permit enables expanded storage for major utility and solar industry customers struggling with end-of-life solutions and provides sufficient buffer for the logistics associated with the first industry-scale solar panel recycling facility in the region. Comstock Metals is dedicated to advancing leading technologies and sustainable practices in the solar recycling industry. The new storage capacity enables the company to efficiently manage and process large quantities of end-of-life solar panels and delivers a 100% closed-loop, zero-landfill solution that sets a new standard for solar panel recycling. Corrado De Gasperis, Executive Chairman and CEO of Comstock Inc., stated, "Once we demonstrated our ability to recycle and reuse 100% of the recycled materials, and received accredited third-party auditor certification of this unique capability, major utilities began signing master service agreements for our services. The market demand has been robust, and we needed to rapidly expand storage to accommodate our customers and our commitment to keeping these materials out of landfills. We are thankful to Lyon County's expedience in enabling this local and regional Nevada-based solution.' The Silver Springs facility is strategically located to serve the rapidly expanding solar industry in the western United States. With the capacity to store and process large volumes of solar panels, Comstock Metals is poised to lead the solar panel recycling sector, contributing to the reduction of landfilled electronic waste and recovery of valuable materials. Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, President of Comstock Metals added, "Our first industry scale facility, targeting 100,000 tons per year of waste solar panel processing capacity is in the latter stages of permitting and still expected during the fourth quarter of this year, so we can commence commissioning in the first quarter of 2026. We will begin ordering equipment this summer. With the acceleration of large-scale customers' acquisitions for high-volume, longer-term commitments, we needed expanded storage capability for our first planned industry-scale site. This permit strongly achieves that objective.' Comstock Metals is also the first solar panel recycling company in North America to be certified by SERI to the R2v3/RIOS Responsible Recycling Standard, and specifically to Appendix G that authenticates a zero-waste recycling process that safely repurposes each recycled material into new commercial applications. Comstock Metals has demonstrated panel processing with proprietary thermal methods, producing 100% commodity-ready products. All parts of the panel, including glass, aluminum, and fines, are fully recycled. Comstock's facility has now operated for well over one year. About Comstock Metals Comstock Metals is a leading, Nevada-based, zero-landfill recycling solution that specializes in the environmentally responsible recycling of solar panels and related renewable energy infrastructure and equipment. Comstock's unique thermal delaminating processes, ongoing material innovations, and sustainable practices differentiates its recycling leadership and strengthens the supply chain of domestically manufactured electrification products. About Comstock Inc. Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) innovates and commercializes technologies that are deployable across entire industries to contribute to energy abundance by efficiently extracting and converting under-utilized natural resources, such as waste and other forms of woody biomass into renewable fuels, and end-of-life electronics into recovered electrification metals.

Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation: (i) the results of the Kainantu Mine Definitive Feasibility Study, including the Stage 3 Expansion, a new standalone 1.2 mtpa process plant and supporting infrastructure; (ii) statements regarding the expansion of the mine and development of any of the deposits; (iii) the Kainantu Stage 4 Expansion, operating two standalone process plants, larger surface infrastructure and mining throughputs; and (iv) the potential extended life of the Kainantu Mine. All statements in this news release that address events or developments that we expect to occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, although not always, identified by words such as 'expect', 'plan', 'anticipate', 'project', 'target', 'potential', 'schedule', 'forecast', 'budget', 'estimate', 'intend' or 'believe' and similar expressions or their negative connotations, or that events or conditions 'will', 'would', 'may', 'could', 'should' or 'might' occur. All such forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our ability to control, that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such factors include, without limitation, Public Health Crises, including the epidemic or pandemic viruses; changes in the price of gold, silver, copper and other metals in the world markets; fluctuations in the price and availability of infrastructure and energy and other commodities; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; volatility in price of our common shares; inherent risks associated with the mining industry, including problems related to weather and climate in remote areas in which certain of the Company's operations are located; failure to achieve production, cost and other estimates; risks and uncertainties associated with exploration and development; uncertainties relating to estimates of mineral resources including uncertainty that mineral resources may never be converted into mineral reserves; the Company's ability to carry on current and future operations, including development and exploration activities at the Arakompa, Kora, Judd and other projects; the timing, extent, duration and economic viability of such operations, including any mineral resources or reserves identified thereby; the accuracy and reliability of estimates, projections, forecasts, studies and assessments; the Company's ability to meet or achieve estimates, projections and forecasts; the availability and cost of inputs; the availability and costs of achieving the Stage 3 Expansion or the Stage 4 Expansion; the ability of the Company to achieve the inputs the price and market for outputs, including gold, silver and copper; failures of information systems or information security threats; political, economic and other risks associated with the Company's foreign operations; geopolitical events and other uncertainties, such as the conflicts in Ukraine, Israel and Palestine; compliance with various laws and regulatory requirements to which the Company is subject to, including taxation; the ability to obtain timely financing on reasonable terms when required; the current and future social, economic and political conditions, including relationship with the communities in Papua New Guinea and other jurisdictions it operates; other assumptions and factors generally associated with the mining industry; and the risks, uncertainties and other factors referred to in the Company's Annual Information Form under the heading 'Risk Factors'. Estimates of mineral resources are also forward-looking statements because they constitute projections, based on certain estimates and assumptions, regarding the amount of minerals that may be encountered in the future and/or the anticipated economics of production. The estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves is inherently uncertain and involves subjective judgments about many relevant factors. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The accuracy of any such estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data, and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation, Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance, and actual results and future events could materially differ from those anticipated in such statements. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actual results to differ materially from those that are anticipated, estimated, or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by in to access your portfolio
